hey mums, today is my first day of starting slimming worlds extra easy plan and im actually a little bit excited because theres so much i can eat and no need to count calories, have any of you tried slimming world? if so how did it work for you? also i really need to get onto some sort of exercise plan only like 30 minutes a day nothing too extreme, im going to start swimming with my kids once a week on the weekends but during the week i was thinking about going out jogging for half an hour with my dogs that way i get fit while they get a walk '2 birds with 1 stone' the thing is, is i really would like to jog regularly but when i tried a few times before i was really crap at it! i always ran out of breath and needed to stop and pulled a muscle around my knee so had to stop due to the pain. ive googled and youtubed running techniques and have tried emmulating them but where am i going wrong? again i want to jog rather than run. also any tips on strength training? i really want to tone my arms and tummy after 3 c sections my tums pretty out of shape!

Try the couch to 5k programme, really works.

Slimming world was ( for me) rubbish. All this unlimited this or that, gave the wring message. Hope they have changed it!

hello. I have just reached my target of 5 stone loss with Slimming World, it has taken 8 months. It works for me! I eat lots and am never hungry. I have excercised since starting and think that this is a big part of it working for me. I do Zumba, spin cycle and go to the gym. If it is possible I would have a session with a personal trainer, if you tell them exactly what you want to work on, they will devise a workout for you. I walk my dog every day too and once a week we do a power walk, not so hard on my knees!

Good Luck. SW has really worked for me but you must stick with it and exercise too. My life is completely changed, I have gone from a size 22 to a size 12/14 and I am so much fitter and healthier. I have my life back!

Go for it! Smile
